In revising this book, care has been taken to preserve all the
excellences that have so long and so favorably distinguished
McQuffey's Eclectic Spelling Book: and the chief changes
that have been made, have been suggested by the evident
plan of the original work.
The old system of indicating the pronunciation by numerals,
called "superiors," has been abandoned, and the diacritical
marks used by Webster have been adopted. The Revised
Speller conforms in orthography, pronunciation, and syllabica-
tion to Webster's International Dictionary. Exercises have
been given on each of the distinctive marks used in the book,
as will be seen by reference to Lessons 36-57.
A number of lessons have been added in the department of
prefixes and suffixes, and now nearly all the more common of
these etymological principles have been explained. (See Les-
sons 136-167.)
In arranging the text of the several lessons, the object has
been not to appeal merely to arbitrary memory, b^t to asso-
ciate each lesson with some principle of sound, meaning, or
accent, which would tend to aid the pupil in acquiring a
knowledge of our language. Several distinct lessons on pro-
nunciation are given, and towards the close of the book nu-
merous lessons of difficult words in orthography have been
introduced.
Instead of indicating silent letters by italics, as has hitherto
been done, a new type has been made in which such letters
are canceled, thus enabling the pupil to discover their status
at a glance.
The pages have been enlivened, as in the other books of this
Series, by attractive engravings.
The publishers take pleasure in acknowledging the valu-
able services of W. B. Watkins, D. D., who planned and
executed this revision.

THE ENGLISH ALPHABET.
The English Alphabet consists of twenty-six letters, viz.:
a, 6, c, d, e,f, g, h, i, j, k, /, m, n, o, p, q, r, 8, t, u, v, w, x,
y, z.
Letters are divided into Vowels and Consonants.
The Vowels are those letters which can be perfectly-
sounded without the aid of any other letter. The vowels
are a, e, t, o, w, vo^ and y.
The vowel sounds of w and y are the same as those of u
and X. A and o are always vowels. E, i, xi, w^ and y
are sometimes consonants.
A Diphthong is the union of two vowels in one sound.
When hoih vowels are sounded, the diphthong is called
Proper, because then it is really a diphthong, or d(niible
sou7id; that is, the sounds of the vowels unite; as, oi in oil;
ou in sound.
When only one of the vowels is sounded, the diphthong
is called Improper, because then, as one of the vowels is
silent, it is not properly a diphthong, though it takes that
name; as, oa in boat, ui in suit, where a and i are silent.
The following diphthongs are in common use, viz.: oi, oy,
ou, ow, ae, ai, au, aw, ay, ea, ei, eo, eu, ew, ey, ia, ie, oa, oe,
lui, xie, xii; as in toil, boy, round, plow, seal, coal, head, sail,
say, axight, yeoman. Of these, oi, oy, ou, and ow are gener-
ally proper diphthongs ; though sometimes ou and ow are
improper, as in famoxis, where o is silent, and in sbw, where
w is silent.
A Triphthong is the union of three vowels in one sylla-
ble; as, eau in beau, iew in view. The triphthong is
properly a union of letters, not sounds.

W, in its vowel sounds, corresponds with u; as in new
(pro. nu). A has, in a few words, the sound of 6; as in
any (jyro. 6n'ny). U has, in a few words, the sound of ^; as
in bury (pro. b^r'ry) ; or that of i, as in busy (pro. bTz'y')*
OF THE CONSONANTS.
The Consonants are those letters which can not be per-
fectly sounded without the aid of a vowel. The consonants
are 6, c, d, /, g, h, j, k, I, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, x, z, and
sometimes e, i, u, w, and y. The consonants are divided into
Mutes and Semivowels.
The Mutes are those consonants that admit of no sound
without the aid of a vowel. They are 6, d, k, p, q, t, and
c and g hard.
■^NOTE.— The u is canceled in this book when qu is sounded like k.
6 ECLECTIC SERIES.
The Semivowels are those consonants that can be
sounded imperfectly by themselves. They are /, /i, J, I, m,
n, r, 8, V, a:, 2, and c and g soft.
Four of the semivowels are called Liquids; viz., i, m, n,
and r. They are called liquids because they unite so
readily with other sounds, or flow into them.
OF SYLLABLES AND WORDS.
A Syllable is a sound, or a combination of sounds,
uttered by a single impulse of the voice : it may have one
or more letters; as, a, bad, bad-ness.
A Word is either a syllable or a combination of sylla-
bles; as, not, notion.
A word of one syllable is called a Monosyllable ; as, man.
A word of two syllables is called a Dissyllable; as,
manly.
A word of three syllables is called a Trisyllable; as,
manliness. Words of more than three syllables are called
Polysyllables.
Accent is a stress of voice placed upon some one sylla-
ble more than the others. Every word composed of two or
more syllables has one of them accented. This accent is
denoted by a mark C) ^^ ^^^ ^nd of the accented syllable;
as, mid'night, aban'don.
A Primitive Word is one which is not derived from
any other word ; as, man, great, full.
A Derivative Word is one which is formed from some
other word h^ adding something to it; as, manful, greatness,
fully.
A Simple Word is one which is not composed of more
than one word; as, hind, man, stand, ink.
A Compound Word is one that is composed of two or
more simple words; as, inkstand, text-book.
Spelling is naming or writing the letters of a word.

DiCTATiOx\ Exercises.
Note to Teachers. — These lessons are intended as exercises
in the meaning as well as the spelling of words. Distinguish
carefully words of similar sound, but which differ in their
spelling. At the recitation the sentences should be read
aloud by the teacher, and the pupils required to write them
out neatly and correctly upon their slates or on the black-
board.
He ate seven or eight apples. Send the pale
maid with the pail of milk. He owed for the
paper on which he wrote an ode to the moon.
We are not quite ready for the quiet man.
Age gives edge to wine. He said the idol
looked like a satyr. Clever satire often rouses

numb. Comb your hair, but do not thumb
your book. Bombs are now commonly called

To essay the task, requires courage. The
discourse was an able essay. An agent will
assay the ore, and forward a receipt. Con-
temn a mean act ; but do not always condemn
the actor. They were to seize the fort, and
cease liring. They aifect great grief; but do
